The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Outstanding. Now all you need is a deck of cards!

Fantastic work, so far. Can't wait to see how the BDUs turn out.

Any chance of full before and after? (I've never seen the McFarlane figure)

Even without the comparison pics, it's quite obvious that you had a LOT of talent with a brush! Damn good show, mate!

Cheers

Fantastic! Seeing old | New side-by-side, yours almost jumps off the screen. I have one of these, but I can't find a Motion Tracker. Did I lose mine, or is that from something else/a scratchbuild?

Wow !!
That sure is some excellent work.
If I recall correctly I think the motion tracker was the variant figure.
Something like a couple per case.

Yeah there were 3 variations

Hicks w/ PR
Hicks w/ PR and Tracker
Hicks with Helmet, egg, facehuggers and shotgun

There were a limited amount of spare shotguns so you could send off for it while supplies lasted.

It looks awesome.
Hey Brian, post a pic of your DC06 Hicks figure you won ;)
